Day seven: How’d you get your hair like that?

The seventh day for the #denverhair project was anything but a day of rest. It was a night at Red Rocks. At the Bruno Mars concert.

There were so many stupendous hairstyles at the show. I figured I’d kick things off by trying to get an interview with the hair atop the head of Bruno Mars himself.

While moseying around backstage about an hour before the opener came on, I found myself at the bottom of a ramp that Mars – and his assistant – where standing at the top of. This was my chance. He needed to be a part of “How’d you get your hair like that?”

And how could he not be? The guy has got some of the best hair in the ‘biz. So I walked up and asked him if he’d talk to me for forty-five seconds about the lustrous Afro of his, that was partly concealed by a green bandanna.

“I wish I could, sweetheart. But we’d have to involve lawyers, and a bunch PR people. It used to be so much easier.”

While I couldn’t get any air time with Bruno or his hair, he did call me sweetheart. And I found so many ‘do’s in the audience that I was able to capture on camera.

Two of those audience members were Michael and Lori Cain. Their daughter lives here in Denver and the Cain’s were in town visiting her from Los Angeles, but she wasn’t invited to the concert. It was parent’s night out.

The two make a great hair pair: Lori, 53, has got gypsy locks that channel Stevie Nicks, and Michael, 55, has a two-toned mane – the result of a birthmark that changes colors. Michael makes reference to it being similar cowhide, but I like to call it mood hair. You’ll have to watch the interview to learn more about that.
